Possibly A10 or A11. Note the dive brakes under the wing. By the way, I hate the new fangled USAF insignia, bring back the original Hap Arnold design ! 2 Quote Link to comment

Got to love a V tail, right after high school, I worked at the Boulder airport for the Beech dealer, and a college student from a wealthy family got a new, full loaded turbo Bonanza for Christmas. I was so jealous, he drove a new Electra 225 convertible, rode a Triumph Bonneville, and always had a cute girl with him. Probably divorced many times over, and broke now. ? 1 Quote Link to comment
